Chef's Note

This summer dish is best enjoyed outdoors! For the most flavorful chicken, marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight if possible. The corn and tomato salad can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, just add the avocado right before serving to prevent browning. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan or broil the chicken.

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 ears corn on the cob

  • 3 medium heirloom tomatoes

  • 1 medium cucumber

  • 1 small red onion

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

  • 1 whole lime

  • 1 medium avocado

  • 1 pound baby potatoes

Instructions
  • 1

    In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.

  • 2

    Place chicken thighs in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they're well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (longer if time permits).

  • 3

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. If using oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C).

  • 4

    Cut 1 pound baby potatoes in half and toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. If grilling, place in a grill basket; if using oven, spread on a baking sheet.

  • 5

    Cook potatoes for about 20-25 minutes until tender and golden, turning occasionally if grilling.

  • 6

    While potatoes cook, grill corn on the cob for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. If using oven, place corn directly on the rack and roast for 15-20 minutes.

  • 7

    Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If using oven, bake for 25-30 minutes.

  • 8

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush chicken with reserved marinade for a glossy glaze.

  • 9

    While chicken cooks, dice 3 medium heirloom tomatoes, 1 medium cucumber, and thinly slice 1 small red onion. Cut kernels from grilled corn once cool enough to handle.

  • 10

    In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, corn kernels, red onion, 1/2 cup torn basil leaves, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.

  • 11

    Squeeze juice from half a lime over the salad, drizzle with remaining tablespoon of oil, and season with remaining salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

  • 12

    Just before serving, dice 1 medium avocado and fold gently into the salad.

  • 13

    Slice chicken if desired and serve alongside the corn and tomato salad and grilled potatoes. Garnish with additional herbs and lime wedges from the remaining half lime.
